The Cast Of "The Last Supper" The roles of Jesus and His twelve, have been played by many different actors over the past 11 years of the "Last Supper" drama. Claude Cameron "Nathaniel", Steve Pracht "James the Lesser", David Shahan "Judas", Bobby Boydston "John", Barre Griffith "James", and Tom Herrin "Simon", are all original cast members that are still playing their respective parts. Terry Little "Andrew", Mike Stevens "Peter", Doyle Greteman "Thomas" Joe Williams "Jesus", Bob Cleary "Phillip", Mike Thomas "Thaddus", and Jess Young "Matthew", have each joined the cast over the years. Each of the men, has added his own personal touch to the part that he plays. These actors have researched the lives of their disciples, some writing their own lines into the script. Members of the cast have expressed that they have grown spiritually by their participation in the "Last Supper." Becoming closer to the Christ by portraying His disciples, if only for a few nights. On the two nights of the presentation, the cast arrives several hours early. The actors in turn go to the make up room, where their faces are transformed into close representations of the disciples that they portray. Many of the cast also put on wigs so even their hair will look as much like their studies as possible. Each actor must remove all jewelry, glasses and any modern day trappings that would not be in character with their part. Then, each actor puts on his costume and is transformed into a contemporary of Jesus Himself. As the performance time draws near, the actors review their lines, and then just moments before they go on stage, heads are bowed for prayer. Home | Next
